Upper-Body Dumbbell Workout

We are splitting our workouts into upper and lower-body workouts this week. Since the last workout was a lower-body dumbbell workout, it’s time for an upper-body dumbbell workout today.

As always when we do resistance workouts, please remember that you may see an impact on your insulin sensitivity 24-36 hours after your workout so be diligent with watching your blood sugars. If you aren’t used to resistance workouts, I really recommend you read my post about how resistance training affects your blood sugar before you do the workout.

You can follow along in the video for a demonstration of the exercises. I suggest you do 3 rounds of 10-15 repetitions for each exercise.

Christel -I loved the legwork out-perfect!- and it came at the perfect time! ?? Veronica had three wisdom teeth out yesterday-she was miserable and crying and the stress made my blood sugar go extremy high! So I’m nice hard work out with exactly what I needed thank you! I’m excited about doing the arm workout today and please keep the videos coming- I look forward to them every day 🙂 I wish I could follow along in the Facebook group but as I’ve told you before my handicap accessibility screenwriter does not work with Facebook
